  Genesis chapter 24. Let us pray.
• 0:08
  Our Father who is in heaven, holy is your name.
• 0:17
  May your Kingdom come and your will be done on this earth, just
• 0:24
  as it is there in heaven. Give us this day Our Daily
• 0:29
  Bread. Forgive us for our sins as we
• 0:35
  forgive those who sin against us.
• 0:40
  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
• 0:46
  For yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and
• 0:51
  ever. Jesus Christ, you reign supreme.
• 0:55
  You reign to the end of time. You reign Jesus Christ as the
• 1:01
  most high God. You are the loftiest centre of
• 1:06
  all the universe. You are high and lifted up.
• 1:10
  That we look to you and receive our salvation.
• 1:13
  We see the wounds. We see the crown of thorns.
• 1:17
  We see you as the Lamb that was slain before the foundations of
• 1:22
  the earth. We see you as the lion of the
• 1:25
  tribe of Judah, roaring mightily, coming back with all
• 1:29
  your splendor, with all of the heavenly hosts coming back on
• 1:33
  the clouds. God, we see you high and lifted
• 1:36
  up. We thank you for salvation.
• 1:38
  We thank you that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of
• 1:41
  Life. We thank you for the down
• 1:43
  payment of the Holy Ghost. We thank you for a sound mind.
• 1:47
  We thank you, God, for the ability to reason, to think and
• 1:52
  to come and to Sup and to dine and commune and Koinonia with
• 1:57
  you. Father God, the God of the
• 2:00
  universe, we come through the holiest of holy places.
• 2:04
  We come through covered in the blood of Jesus Christ, from the
• 2:08
  soles of our feet to the tops of our head, our palms, our backs,
• 2:12
  God our faces and our stomachs. God, our legs, Gird them up so
• 2:18
  that we can stand in your presence.
• 2:20
  I deny we love you, we love everything about you.
• 2:24
  We love that you were good. We love because you first loved
• 2:28
  us and you chose us and you cleaned us up and you made us
• 2:33
  whole. Help us to be holy as you are
• 2:35
  holy. And it's in Jesus Christ holy
• 2:38
  and precious and powerful name that I pray.
• 2:42
  Amen. Well, let's start in verse one.
• 2:48
  And Abraham was old and well stricken in age, and the Lord
• 2:53
  had blessed Abraham in all things.
• 2:56
  So we know that Abraham was called out of the land of the Ur
• 3:00
  of the Chaldees. We know that God took him and
• 3:03
  promised him that he would be the father of many nations, more
• 3:08
  innumerable than the stars in the sky or the sand on the
• 3:12
  seashore. And we see that he even in his
• 3:16
  disobedience in Egypt, even whenever he allowed Lot to take
• 3:22
  whichever side, we see that no matter what Abraham did, he was
• 3:27
  richly blessed by God. He was a friend of God.
• 3:31
  Verse 2 And Abraham said to his oldest servant of his house that
• 3:36
  ruled over all that he had put, I pray you, your hand under my
• 3:41
  thigh. So perhaps this was Eleazar, the
• 3:45
  one that was to inherit all of Abraham's wealth, had Isaac not
• 3:52
  showed up on the scene. And you remember when Abraham
• 3:56
  was arguing with God, and God said, I am your reward.
• 4:00
  And he said yes, but you've given me no children.
• 4:04
  And this Eleazar will inherit everything that I have.
• 4:07
  Now we see perhaps Eleazar popped back up as this lead
• 4:14
  servant and look at how he loved him.
• 4:17
  And he had him place his hand on his thigh and they would sit
• 4:20
  between this cut covenant and he would make him swear that he
• 4:26
  would do exactly what he's promising to do.
• 4:29
  And Abraham would have Eleazar to go and to find a wife for his
• 4:34
  son Isaac. Three.
• 4:38
  And I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the
• 4:43
  God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife to my son of the
• 4:47
  daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell.
• 4:51
  So we remember that Canaan was cursed because hams
• 4:55
  disobedience, hams going in and ridiculing his father's
• 5:00
  drunkenness and nakedness. And you see here that the entire
• 5:06
  land that Canaan had inhabited, Noah had pronounced a curse
• 5:13
  upon. And here, this is where God has
• 5:17
  LED Abraham into this promised land flowing with milk and
• 5:22
  honey. And we know that God's promises
• 5:25
  are faithful and true, and he knows exactly what he's doing.
• 5:28
  And it's not for us to approach any of Scripture from a
• 5:31
  moralistic feeling. We cannot go to God and shake
• 5:36
  our fists, call God into the courtroom and ask him what he is
• 5:39
  doing. Who has ever lent to God that
• 5:43
  God should repay mankind? It doesn't work that way.
• 5:46
  And so we see here that Abraham is saying, do not allow the Son
• 5:51
  of promise to marry into and be diluted by these people in the
• 5:59
  land of Canaan, which Abraham understood were it was not their
• 6:04
  rightful possession that they would be dispossessed of that
• 6:08
  land. And that the children of God,
• 6:11
  the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob promised to put them in
• 6:17
  that land. And that promise still stands
• 6:19
  today, friends. 4 But you shall go unto my country, and to my
• 6:29
  kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
• 6:32
  So he's telling him to go back to the land of Ur the Chaldees,
• 6:36
  and find his son a wife from there.
• 6:40
  Five. And the servants said to him,
• 6:42
  But what if the woman will not be willing to follow me unto
• 6:45
  this land? Must thy needs bring your son
• 6:48
  again into the land from where you came?
• 6:51
  So he's saying, if I go all the way there, and nobody will agree
• 6:54
  to come back, as your son's wife, should I take him there?
• 7:00
  6 Abraham said to him, Beware that you do not bring my son
• 7:06
  there again. So Abraham understood that
• 7:10
  Canaan was the land of promise that God was going to give to
• 7:15
  Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, all of it Seven in the Lord God of
• 7:20
  heaven, which took me from my father's house and from my from
• 7:24
  the land of my kindred, which spoke unto me, and that swore
• 7:28
  unto me, saying unto your seed, I will give this land.
• 7:32
  He shall send his Angel before you, and you shall take a wife
• 7:37
  unto my son from there. So here Abraham is moving in the
• 7:40
  spirit of faith. He's telling Eleazar, listen,
• 7:43
  don't worry about it. God's going to go before you.
• 7:46
  God is going to curate this entire event.
• 7:49
  It's going to be a divine appointment.
• 7:52
  And here you can see the faith of Abraham.
• 7:56
  Aiden, if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you
• 7:59
  shall be clear from this. My oath only bring not my son.
• 8:04
  There again, he's saying, listen, it doesn't matter if she
• 8:06
  wants to come back or not. I believe in God who can make
• 8:10
  all of this happen. But if it all falls apart,
• 8:13
  whatever you do, do not take Isaac back to the land of Ur,
• 8:17
  the Chaldees. 9 And the Servant put his hand under the thigh of
• 8:22
  Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
• 8:27
  So what would have happened would have been an animals cut
• 8:31
  in two, the pieces laid splayed one side and the other.
• 8:36
  And then the two making the covenant would come in, and they
• 8:40
  would sit in the center of that bloody mess and grab each
• 8:44
  other's inner thigh, and they would look square in the face.
• 8:47
  And the idea behind it, friends, don't lose sight of what this is
• 8:54
  all about. The idea behind it is that
• 8:57
  whatever happened to that animal would happen to you if you do
• 9:00
  not hold up your end of the bargain. 10 And the servant took
• 9:05
  10 camels of the camels of his master, and he departed, for all
• 9:11
  the goods of his master were in his hand.
• 9:14
  And he arose and went to Mesopotamia under the city of
• 9:19
  Nahor. We remember that.
• 9:20
  Nahor was Abrahams brother. We remember that Abraham's dad
• 9:26
  had lost a son. We remember that all of this was
• 9:30
  transpiring in real, literal, geographical places.
• 9:34
  And what a mighty act of God that he would lead him 900 miles
• 9:39
  from Canaan all the way back to land of the earth, the Chaldees.
• 9:45
  11 And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a
• 9:49
  well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that
• 9:53
  women go out to draw water. So here Eleazar comes into that
• 9:58
  place. He's got this caravan, he's got
• 10:01
  many with him and lots of animal and livestock for the journey.
• 10:07
  And he comes and he kneels them down in the evening.
• 10:10
  And it would have been the time that the women came out to get
• 10:13
  water. 12 And he said, Oh, Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray
• 10:19
  you send me good speed this day and show kindness unto my master
• 10:24
  Abraham. Look at Elias are praying to the
• 10:26
  God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Yahweh 13 Behold, I stand
• 10:31
  here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the
• 10:34
  city come out to draw water. So here Eleazar is connecting
• 10:40
  with Yahweh. He's praying fervently for a
• 10:43
  good report and that God would grant Abraham the his heart's
• 10:48
  desire. And God is still in the
• 10:50
  business, friends of marriage. He's still in the business,
• 10:53
  friends of procreation, and God's blessing is upon the
• 10:57
  family unit. 14 And let it come to pass that the damsel to whom
• 11:02
  I shall say, Let down your picture, I pray that I may
• 11:06
  drink, and she shall say drink, and I will give your camel's
• 11:10
  drink also. Let the same be she that you
• 11:15
  have appointed for your servant Isaac, and thereby shall I know
• 11:20
  that you have showed kindness unto my master.
• 11:22
  So here, this was the acid test that Eleazar would wait for the
• 11:27
  first woman to not only give him a drink, but also to suggest and
• 11:33
  to actually perform the giving of his camels.
• 11:38
  The water too, which would have been a very overwhelming task to
• 11:43
  try and give that many camels that much water so that they
• 11:49
  could drink and be satisfied. And so this was a test of
• 11:55
  character friends, not just a test of beauty.
• 11:58
  But let's see how God feels about it, and how He is going to
• 12:03
  do what He wants to do in this 2nd. 13 And it came to pass
• 12:11
  before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebecca came out,
• 12:15
  who was born to Beth you El, son of Milka, the wife of Nahor,
• 12:20
  Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
• 12:24
  So here we can see that the servant's prayer is answered. 16
• 12:28
  The damsel was very fair to look upon a virgin.
• 12:34
  Neither had any man known her, and she went down to the well
• 12:37
  and filled her picture and came up.
• 12:39
  So we can see here that God and his grace and his Providence is
• 12:44
  upon this entire scene. Not only does she have the work
• 12:48
  ethic that is going to be needed in order to carry on the
• 12:52
  genealogy of the Messiah and for all of Abraham's wealth that
• 12:57
  will be passed down to her, but she also is very beautiful to
• 13:02
  look upon. 17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, Let
• 13:08
  me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher. 18 And
• 13:12
  she said, Drink, my Lord. And she hasted and let down her
• 13:17
  pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 19 And when she had
• 13:21
  done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your
• 13:24
  camels also until they have done drinking.
• 13:28
  So look at her heart. You can see that God answered
• 13:31
  Eleazar's prayer. 20 And she hasted and emptied her pitcher
• 13:35
  into the through, and ran again to the well to draw water, and
• 13:39
  drew for all his camels. What a mighty task she just
• 13:44
  performed. She has magnificent work ethic.
• 13:47
  21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit, whether
• 13:53
  the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
• 13:56
  So here he's locked in, He's in tune with Almighty God, and he's
• 14:01
  making sure that she is the one who's going to carry the seed of
• 14:05
  the Messiah in her womb. Friends, the genealogy that goes
• 14:10
  all the way back to Rebecca. And you can see here that
• 14:13
  Eleazar is a magnificent show of what a servant is to look like.
• 14:18
  He's only about His Master's business and that is our call.
• 14:21
  Friends, we are bond servants of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 14:25
  We wait on His every word, we watch His every move, and we
• 14:30
  only do what He asks us to do. Friends, never ever stepping out
• 14:35
  of His perfect and pleasing will for our lives. 22 And it came to
• 14:41
  pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a
• 14:44
  golden earring of half his Shekel weight 2 bracelets for
• 14:48
  her hands of 10 shekels weight of gold.
• 14:51
  This was a gift of preposterous amount of wealth.
• 14:58
  This showed that Abraham was more than capable of having this
• 15:04
  daughter-in-law for Isaac. 23 and said, Whose daughter are
• 15:10
  you? Tell me, I pray you, is there
• 15:13
  room in your father's house for us to lodge in?
• 15:15
  24 And she said to him, I'm the daughter of Beth Uel, the son of
• 15:20
  Milka, which she bore unto Nahor.
• 15:23
  So here it's a family connection, friends, this is
• 15:26
  Abraham's brother. This would have been Isaac's
• 15:29
  uncle, and this would have been his cousin.
• 15:31
  And back then, friends, this was not as polluted in the gene pool
• 15:36
  as today is, friends. And there would have been no,
• 15:40
  absolutely zero problem with this intermarriage.
• 15:47
  And this was a wonderful provision from God, that he
• 15:51
  would grant Abraham, someone of his own family, to marry Isaac.
• 15:59
  25 She said, Moreover, to him we have both straw and provender
• 16:05
  enough and room to lodge in. 26 And the man bowed down his head
• 16:10
  and worshipped the Lord. That is our rightful posture
• 16:14
  when God gives us the open doors.
• 16:19
  Friends, whenever there are things that are miraculous that
• 16:23
  only God can do, the very most worthy thing that you can do is
• 16:31
  bow down and worship a holy God. 27 And he said, Blessed be the
• 16:38
  Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute, my
• 16:42
  master of his mercy and his truth.
• 16:45
  I being in the way, the Lord led me to the House of my master's
• 16:49
  brother. So what an amazing thought is
• 16:52
  that God is moving this whole scene. 28 And the damsel ran and
• 16:57
  told them of her mother's house, these things. 29 And Rebecca had
• 17:01
  a brother, and his name was Laban.
• 17:06
  And Laban ran unto the man, unto the well.
• 17:09
  So we see that this Laban is the spokesperson for the family, and
• 17:15
  he's going to come out, and he loves to strike a deal. 30 And
• 17:21
  it came to pass when he saw the earrings and the bracelets upon
• 17:26
  his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebecca, his
• 17:29
  sister saying, Thus spoke the man unto me, that he came to the
• 17:34
  man, and behold, he stood by the camels at the well. 31 And he
• 17:38
  said, Come in, you blessed of the Lord.
• 17:41
  Wherefore why do you stand outside?
• 17:44
  For I have prepared the house and room for the camels.
• 17:47
  So here this Laban, he is going to welcome Eleazar into the
• 17:55
  house, but he has his eyes on him because he sees the extreme
• 18:01
  wealth that he is carrying. 32 And the man came into the house
• 18:05
  and he ungirded his camels and he gave straw and provender for
• 18:09
  the camels and water to wash his feet and the men's feet that
• 18:12
  were with him. What an amazing scene here.
• 18:15
  Not only is Laban going to feed the camels and house them, but
• 18:20
  he's also having them wash their feet. 33 And there was set meat
• 18:25
  before him to eat, And he said, I will not eat until I have told
• 18:29
  of my errand. And he said, Speak on.
• 18:32
  So Eleazar says, this is wonderful, thank you for the
• 18:36
  food, but I must tell you my business. 34 And he said, I am
• 18:41
  Abraham's servant. 35 And the Lord has blessed my master
• 18:46
  greatly, and he has become great, and he has given him
• 18:50
  flocks and herds, and silver and gold men, servants,
• 18:54
  maidservants, camels, asses. 36 And Sarah, my master's wife,
• 18:59
  bore a son to my master when she was old, and unto him he has
• 19:03
  given him all that he has. 37 My master made me swear, saying,
• 19:08
  You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the
• 19:11
  Canaanites in whose land I dwell. 38 But you shall go to my
• 19:16
  father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my
• 19:19
  son. 39 And I will. And I said to my master, But
• 19:23
  what if the woman will not follow me?
• 19:25
  40 And he said to me, The Lord before whom I walk will send his
• 19:30
  Angel to you, and prosper your way, And you shall take a wife
• 19:34
  from my son in the kindred of my father's house. 41 Then shall
• 19:39
  you be clear from this my oath? When you come to my kindred, if
• 19:44
  they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath. 42 And it
• 19:49
  came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord, God, my master
• 19:54
  Abraham, if now you do prosper my way, which I go.
• 19:58
  So here Eleazar is praying to God, and he's saying, Please
• 20:02
  Lord, make my journey prosperous, be favorable unto my
• 20:07
  master Abraham, and give Isaac a wife. 43 Behold, I stand by the
• 20:14
  well of water, and it shall come to pass that when the Virgin
• 20:17
  comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you,
• 20:22
  a little water of your pitcher to drink. 44 And she say to me,
• 20:26
  both you drink, and I will also draw for your camels.
• 20:30
  Let the same be the woman whom the Lord has appointed out for
• 20:34
  my master son. So this was the test is that
• 20:38
  Eleazar told God that he would know that it was her if she not
• 20:43
  only gave him something to drink, but also offered without
• 20:47
  being prodded or provoked, but offered out of the goodness of
• 20:51
  her heart to get water for his camels. 45 And before I had done
• 20:58
  speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her
• 21:01
  pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the well, drew
• 21:04
  water, and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray you. 46 And she
• 21:09
  made haste, let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said,
• 21:12
  Drink, and I will give your camel's drink also.
• 21:15
  So I drank, and she made the camel's drink also. 47 And I
• 21:19
  asked her and said, Whose daughter are you?
• 21:21
  And she said, The daughter of Beth, you El Nahor's son, who
• 21:25
  milk I bore unto him, and I put the earring upon her face, and
• 21:29
  the bracelets upon her hands. 48 And I bowed down my head and
• 21:34
  worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master
• 21:37
  Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my masters
• 21:41
  brothers, daughter unto his son. So here we can see that Eleazar
• 21:47
  is jubilant. He is so incredibly joyful that
• 21:52
  God has made his journey to be prosperous for his master and
• 21:58
  for Isaac his son. 49 And now, if you will deal kindly and
• 22:06
  truly with my master, tell me. But if not, tell me that I may
• 22:10
  turn to the right hand or to the left.
• 22:12
  He said, let's not beat around the Bush, let's not play games.
• 22:16
  Just tell me now, if you are going to allow her to come back
• 22:21
  with me to Abraham, to Mary, Isaac. 50 Then Laban and Beth,
• 22:31
  you will answered and said, The thing proceeds from the Lord, we
• 22:35
  cannot speak to you bad or good. They said It looks as if the
• 22:39
  Angel of the Lord has drove you exactly right here to this exact
• 22:44
  place, and that we can say nothing against God.
• 22:48
  We do not want to fight against God. 51 Behold, Rebecca is
• 22:54
  before you. Take her and go.
• 22:56
  Let her be your master's son's wife.
• 22:58
  As the Lord has spoken, so their hands are tied, and God is the
• 23:02
  one who is steering this entire event. 52 But it came to pass
• 23:11
  that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped
• 23:14
  the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.
• 23:16
  He hasn't even had a bite to eat.
• 23:19
  He comes in, he tells them the business, they say, yes, we will
• 23:22
  release her. And he immediately bows down and
• 23:25
  gives all honor, and do worship all adoration unto Yahweh
• 23:30
  everlasting, who is worthy of all of our affection and
• 23:34
  attention. 53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver,
• 23:42
  jewels of gold and clothing, and gave them to Rebecca.
• 23:46
  He also gave them to her brother and to her mother.
• 23:49
  Precious things. So Abraham and his wealth is
• 23:52
  being displayed as he's giving them all these gifts.
• 23:58
  There is no lack in the father's house.
• 24:00
  God has plenty to go around. 54 And they did eat, and they
• 24:04
  drank, he and the men that were with him, and they tarried all
• 24:08
  night, and they rose up in the morning.
• 24:10
  And he said, Send me away unto my master.
• 24:13
  So here Eleazar is eager to get back to Abraham. 55 And her
• 24:18
  brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few
• 24:22
  days for at least. 10 And after that she shall go.
• 24:27
  They're saying, let's not be in a big quick hurry.
• 24:30
  You just now got here. This whole thing is mind
• 24:35
  blowing, how God is working mightily in our midst and we're
• 24:40
  going to lose a daughter. Let her stay here for 10 days so
• 24:43
  that we can say goodbye to her properly. 55 And her brother and
• 24:48
  her mother said, let her abide for at least 10 days. 56 And he
• 24:52
  said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing the Lord has prospered my
• 24:58
  way, Send me a way that I may go to my master.
• 25:03
  This is the way that the world works.
• 25:05
  If they cannot get you to stay in the world and to completely
• 25:11
  rebel against the holy and good God, then they will cause you to
• 25:15
  tarry and to wait, and to wait for a more adventurous,
• 25:23
  prosperous time, a more expedient moment to give your
• 25:28
  life unto God. They say, why are you in such a
• 25:31
  rush? But let's see the heart of
• 25:34
  Eleazar. 57 They said, We will call the damsel in choir at her
• 25:40
  mouth. So they're saying, let's hear
• 25:41
  from her. 58 They called Rebecca, and they said to her,
• 25:47
  Will you go with this man? And she said I will go look, she
• 25:52
  doesn't even have to call the council.
• 25:54
  She doesn't even have to have any kind of session to try to
• 25:58
  figure all the details out. She has immediate obedience and
• 26:03
  that is what we are called into. Friends, do not drag your feet
• 26:06
  when it comes to the things of the Lord.
• 26:09
  When the Lord speaks, we go, She says, I will go. 59 And they
• 26:15
  sent away Rebecca, their sister, her nurse, and Abraham's
• 26:18
  servant, and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebecca, and they
• 26:22
  said, You are our sister. Be the mother of thousands and
• 26:26
  millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those who
• 26:30
  hate them. And that is exactly what has
• 26:33
  transpired and happened, and that is the reality of the world
• 26:37
  that we live in today. 61 Rebecca arose her damsels, and
• 26:44
  they rode upon the camels and followed the man.
• 26:46
  And the servant took Rebecca and went his way. 62 And Isaac came
• 26:51
  from the way of the well of La Ha Roy, for he dwelt in the
• 26:55
  South country. 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at
• 27:00
  evening, and he lifted up his eyes, and he saw, and behold the
• 27:04
  camels were coming. 64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and
• 27:08
  when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the Cam. 65 For she had said
• 27:14
  to the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet
• 27:18
  us? And the servant said, It is my
• 27:21
  master. Therefore she took a veil, and
• 27:23
  she covered herself. She has reverence, friends, she
• 27:27
  has modesty friends. This is beautiful in the sight
• 27:30
  of God. 66 And the servant told Isaac All the things that he had
• 27:36
  done will end on. 67 And Isaac brought her into his mother
• 27:40
  Sarah's tent and took Rebecca, and she became his wife and he
• 27:45
  loved her and Isaac was comforted after his mother's
• 27:49
  death. Look at this scene friends.
• 27:51
  What an amazing scene, all fueled and funneled by a loving
• 27:57
  and awesome God that we serve. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and
• 28:01
  Jacob, the God of Israel, the God of the Jews, That is who we
• 28:05
  serve. I hope that you are in love with
• 28:07
  Him. I hope that you are known by
• 28:09
  Him. I hope that you have been
• 28:11
  blessed by this amazing chapter in God's Word.
• 28:14
  I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 28:17
  of you. I love you and so does God.
• 28:28
  We lock eyes with the man with the eyes of fire, sea of glass
• 28:37
  mingled with fire, with the rainbow around the throne.
• 28:41
  We lock eyes with him. He's going to carry us home.
• 28:44
  Friends, I pray that you have your bridal identity and you're
• 28:50
  operating in it, and you are waiting for your groom to come.
• 28:56
  He's coming. His rewards are with him.
• 29:00
  Stay prayed up, stay locked in, stay Worshipful, and work on
• 29:06
  those relationships with your neighbors.
• 29:09
  Love them, love your enemies. Pray for your enemies.
• 29:12
  Friends, we'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 29:17
  God bless you.
